[quote=Anonymous]There's no question that HS and club volleyball are connected in some ways. Certainly many HS coaches also coach club, and will encourage their players to play club, perhaps even at the club or on the team that they coach. I think the reason that 15s and 16s tend to be the age groups with the highest number of teams is that when girls make the 9th grade or JV team for their high school, the coaches tell them that if they want to increase the likelihood that they will make varsity next year they need to play club.

That said, earlier in this thread it was stated that 
[quote]Let's be honest. For Metro Travel... if your daughter is NOT on a competitive (public or private school) HS varsity team as a freshman or sophomore (not bench warmer) they don't have a chance at playing for Metro Travel.[/quote] 
I agree that if your DD is good enough to make Metro Travel or Paramount, then they are good enough to make (and probably play) at almost any local HS as a freshman or sophomore, and conversely if they didn't make varsity as a freshman/sophomore then they likely won't make these teams either. But I don't think the performance of their HS school team has much (if any) bearing on whether they make these club teams or not. As has been said there are plenty of Metro Travel and Paramount players on not great HS teams.[/quote]
